<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 53218, member: 308"]Hi UncleChuckTX - I checked a couple of more books for you. Walk's Big Book of Fenton Milk Glass did not show anything in the Milady pattern. Fenton did make this pattern for Singleton Bailey. Singleton Bailey isn't mentioned in Domitz's Fenton Glass Made for Other Companies but is profiled in Volume II. Volume II wasn't really any help though - it only shows the standard vase in cobalt blue iridized. As far as I can tell Fenton didn't make anything in milk glass for Singleton Bailey.</p><p><br /></p><p>To me that would suggest two possibilities - it may have been a limited production or prototype item sold only through the gift shop. A less likely possibility is that Fenton acquired someone else's mold and you have a product of whatever that original company was. Somehow it doesn't strike me as old milk glass though. And this is all conjecture of course. Regardless it's a lovely vase and I usually am not fond of milk glass. I think the milk glass suits the form much better than later iridized colors.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
